I need 2 O Rings that seal between the shower cartridge and the brass body. A kit will cost about ?18 and contain things for later models that I can't even make use of. Hoping to buy a couple of suitable sized o rings - what material should I be getting to cope with water and the temperatures?
Aldi, Lidl, CPC, and other places often have O-ring kits with lots of different sizes for a few quid.
I have gone into Plumb Center and asked for a couple and they just gave them to me.
The material does not matter at the temperatures found on a shower. They only become significant with superheated steam when viton should be used.
Pretty much anything will do in most cases, rubber, plastic, fibre etc. Tak e plastic junk from kitchen bin, cut out O ring, job done.
